Smallwood and Caribo

Leave a reply

Ex Marine Atlantic Ferries Joseph and Clara Smallwood and Caribou were both sold earlier this year and re-flagged in St. Kits Nevis. Both are due in to port today for bunkers, likely their last Canadian stops.

As part of their Conversion to a foreign flag, both vessels were renamed – Joseph and Clara Smallwood to simply Smallwood, and Caribou dropped the ‘U’ to become Caribo.

Caribo is due at 1900 tonight. Smallwood is currently bunkering, and expected to depart at 1600

UPDATE: Caribo Arrived at 1900, and both sailed separately overnight. Smallwood gave Port Said Egypt as the Destination, and Caribo Gibraltar.

Departed Imperial Oil for Anchor to take on Supplies. She will sail later today.

AFL New England Departed for Fairview Cove, for Pier 42. This is her first stop at Halterm, and shows growth in the service. You can see she has some containers from Fairview, so there is definitely traffic on the route.

A Short Stay

The general cargo ship Levante made a brief appearance, likely to pick up Supplies.
Short stays at anchor are common for bunkers, but the Algoma Dartmouth didn’t tie up.

She arrived late morning, and departed just after 1400.
